//^■^H I S book is made possible by the 
^c generous co-operation or the officers 
^Np^ of the West Point Manufacturing 
Company and Lanett Cotton Mills. It is the 
result of the combined efforts of the War 
Service Station in each mill locality to pay at 
least a feeble tribute to the gallant doughboy 
who enlisted in the cause of right and demo- 
cracy. It is hoped that, as the years pass 
by, these crusaders and their posterity may 
find an increasing interest in this memorial 
to their heroism. 

Also, it has been thought advisable to preserve 
a record of the accomplishments of all those 
patriotic forces which contributed their part 
towards the successful termination of the 
greatest conflict in history. 

It would not be amiss to call particular at- 
tention to the War Service Stations, under 
whose leadership was fostered practically all of 
the patriotic work consummated by those at 
home. That these Stations were a comfort to 
our boys — in their interest and solicitude for 
them — is attested by the letters reproduced.

I ne President s War Message 

Delivered before Congress Aj>nl 2, 1917 

I have called the Congress into extraordinary session because there are serious, very 
serious, choices of policy to be made, and made immediately, which it was neither right nor 
constitutionally permissible that I should assume the responsibility of making. 

On the third of February last, I officially laid before you the extraordinary announce- 
ment of the Imperial German Government that on and after the first day of February it was 
its purpose to put aside all restraints of law or of humanity and use its submarines to sink 
every vessel that sought to approach either the ports of Great Britain and Ireland or the 
western coasts of Europe or any of the ports controlled by the enemies of Germany within 
the Mediterranean. 

That had seemed to be the object of the German submarine warfare earlier in the war; 
but since April of last year the Imperial Government had somewhat restrained the com- 
manders of its undersea craft in conformity with its promise then given to us that passen- 
ger boats should not be sunk, and that due warning would be given to all other vessels 
which its submarines might seek to destroy, when no resistance was offered or escape at- 
tempted, and care taken that their crews were given at least a fair chance to save their 
lives in their open boats. 

The precautions taken were meager and haphazard enough, as was proved in dis- 
tressing instance after instance in the progress of the cruel and unmanly business, but a 
certain degree of restraint was observed. 

The new policy has swept every restriction aside. Vessels of every kind, whatever 
their flag, their character, their cargo, their destination, their errand, have been ruthlessly 
sent to the bottom without warning and without thought of help or mercy for those on board 
— the vessels of friendly neutrals, along with belligerents. 

Even hospital ships and ships carrying relief to the sorely bereaved and stricken peo- 
ple of Belgium, though the latter were provided with safe conduct through the proscribed 
areas by the German Government itself and were distinguished by unmistakable marks of 
identity, have been sunk with the same reckless lack of compassion or of principle. 

I was for a little while unable to believe that such things would in fact be done by 
any government that had hitherto subscribed to the humane practices of civilized nations. 

International law had its origin in the attempt to set up some law which would be re- 
spected and observed upon the seas, where no nation had right of dominion and where lay 
the free highways of the world. 

By painful stage after stage has that law been built up, with meager enough results, 
indeed, after all was accomplished that could be accomplished, but always with a clear 
view, at least, of what the heart and conscience of mankind demanded. 

This minimum of right the German Government has swept aside under the plea of re- 
taliation and necessity, and because it had no weapons which it could use at sea except

these which it is impossible to employ as it is employing them without throwing to the 
winds all scruples of humanity or of respect for the understandings that were supposed to 
underlie the intercourse of the world. 

I am not now thinking of the loss of property involved, immense and serious as that 
is, but only of the wanton and wholesale destruction of the lives of non-combatants, men, 
women and children, engaged in pursuits which have always, even in the darkest periods of 
modern history, been deemed innocent and legitimate. 

Property can be paid for; the lives of peaceful and innocent people cannot be. 

The present German submarine warfare against commerce is a warfare against man- 
kind. It is a war against all nations. 

American ships have been sunk, American lives taken, in ways which it has stirred us 
very deeply to learn of, but the ships and people of other neutral and friendly nations have 
been sunk and overwhelmed in the waters in the same way. There has been no discrimination. 

The challenge is to all mankind. Each nation must decide for itself how it will meet it. 

The choice we make for ourselves must be made with a moderation of counsel and a 
temperateness of judgment befitting our character and our motives as a nation. We must 
put excited feeling away. 

Our motive will not be revenge or the victorious assertion of the physical might of the 
Nation, but only the vindication of right, of human right, of which we are only a single 
champion. 

When I addressed the Congress on the twenty-sixth of February last, I thought that it 
would suffice to assert our neutral rights with arms, our right to use the seas against unlawful 
interference, our right to keep our people safe against unlawful violence. 

But armed neutrality, it now appears, is impracticable. Because submarines are in 
effect outlaws when used as the German submarines have been used against merchant 
shipping, it is impossible to defend ships against their attacks as the law of nations has as- 
sumed that merchantmen would defend themselves against privateers or cruisers, visible 
craft giving chase upon the open sea. 

It is common prudence in such circumstances, grim necessity indeed, to endeavor to 
destroy them before they have shown their own intention. They must be dealt with upon 
sight, if dealt with at all. 

The German Government denies the right of neutrals to use arms at all within the 
areas of the sea which it has proscribed, even in the defense of rights which no modern 
publicist has ever before questioned their right to defend. The intimation is conveyed that 
the armed guards which we have placed on our merchant ships will be treated as beyond 
the pale of law and subject to be dealt with as pirates would be. Armed neutrality is inef- 
fectual enough at best; in such circumstances and in the face of such pretensions it is 
worse than ineffectual; it is likely only to produce what it was meant to prevent; it is prac- 
tically certain to draw us into the war without either the rights or the effectiveness of 
belligerents.

There is one choice we cannot make, we are incapable of making: we will not choose 
the path of submission and suffer the most sacred rights of our Nation and our people to 
be ignored or violated. The wrongs against which we now array ourselves are no common 
wrongs; they cut to the very roots of human life. 

With a profound sense of the solemn and even tragical character of the step I am 
taking and of the grave responsibilities which it involves, but in unhesitating obedience to 
what I deem my constitutional duty, I advise that the Congress declare the recent course 
of the Imperial German Government to be in fact nothing less than war against the Gov- 
ernment and people of the United States; that it formally accept the status of belligerent 
which has thus been thrust upon it; and that it take immediate steps not only to put the coun- 
try in a more thorough state of defense, but also to exert all its power and employ all its 
resources to bring the Government of the German Empire to terms and end the war. 

What this will involve is clear. It will involve the utmost practicable co-operation in 
counsel and action with the governments now at war with Germany, and, as incident to that, 
the extension to those governments of the most liberal financial credits in order that our 
resources may, so far as possible, be added to theirs. It will involve the organization and 
mobilization of all the material resources of the country to supply the materials of war and 
serve the incidental needs of the Nation in the most abundant and yet the most economical 
and efficient way possible. It will involve the immediate full equipment of the Navy in all 
respects, but particularly in supplying it with the best means of dealing with the enemy's 
submarines. It will involve the immediate addition to the armed forces of the United States 
already provided for by law in case of war at least five hundred thousand men, who should, 
in my opinion, be chosen upon the principle of universal liability to service, and also the 
authorization of subsequent additional increments of equal force so soon as they may be 
needed and can be handled in training. 

It will involve also, of course, the granting of adequate credits to the Government, sus- 
tained, I hope, so far as they can equitably be sustained by the present generation, by well- 
conceived taxation. I say sustained so far as may be equitable by taxation because it seems 
to me that it would be most unwise to base the credits which will now be necessary entirely 
on money borrowed. It is our duty, I most respectfully urge, to protect our people so far as 
we may, against the very serious hardships and evils which would be likely to arise out of 
the inflation which would be produced by vast loans. 

In carrying out the measures by which these things are to be accomplished we should 
keep constantly in mind the wisdom of interfering as little as possible in our own prepara- 
tion and in the equipment of our own military forces with the duty — for it will be a very 
practical duty — of supplying the nations already at war with Germany with the materials 
which they can obtain only from us or by our assistance. They are in the field and we 
should help them in every way to be effective there. 

I shall take the liberty of suggesting, through the several executive departments of the 
Government, for the consideration of your committees, measures for the accomplishment of 
the several objects I have mentioned. I hope that it will be your pleasure to deal with them 
as having been framed after very careful thought by the branch of the Government upon

which the responsibility of conducting the war and safeguarding the Nation will most di- 
rectly fall. 

While we do these tilings, these deeply momentous things, let us be very clear, and 
make very clear to all the world what our motives and our objects are. My own thought 
has not been driven from its habitual and normal course by the unhappy events of the last 
two months, and I do not believe that the thought of the Nation has been altered or clouded 
by them. 

I have exactly the same diings in mind now that I had in mind when I addressed the 
Senate on the twenty-second of January last; the same that I had in mind when I addressed 
the Congress on the third of February and on the twenty-sixth of February. 

Our object now, as then, is to vindicate the principles of peace and justice in the life 
of the w r orld as against selfish and autocratic power and to set up amongst the really free 
and self-governed peoples of the world such a concert of purpose and of action as will 
henceforth insure the observance of those principles. 

Neutrality is no longer feasible or desirable where the peace of the world is involved 
and the freedom of its peoples, and the menace to that peace and freedom lies in die exist- 
ence of autocratic governments backed by organized force which is controlled wholly by their 
will, not the will of their people. We have seen the last of neutrality in such circumstances. 

We are at the beginning of an age in which it will be insisted that the same standards 
of conduct and of responsibility for wrong done shall be observed among nations and their 
governments that are observed among the individual citizens of civilized states. 

We have no quarrel with the German people. We have no feeling toward them but one 
of sympathy and friendship. It was not upon dieir impulse that their Government acted in 
entering this war. It was not with their previous knowledge or approval. 

It was a war determined upon as wars used to be determined upon in the old, unhappy 
days when peoples were nowhere consulted by their rulers and wars were provoked and 
waged in the interest of dynasties or of little groups of ambitious men who were accus- 
tomed to use their fellow men as pawns and tools. 

Self-governed nations do not fill their neighbor states with spies or set the course of in- 
trigue to bring about some critical posture of affairs which will give them an opportunity 
to strike and make conquest. Such designs can be successfully worked out only under cover 
and where no one has the right to ask questions. 

Cunningly contrived plans of deception or aggression, carried, it may be, from gener- 
ation to generation, can be worked out and kept from the light only within the privacy of 
courts or behind die carefully guarded confidences of a narrow and privileged class. They 
are happily impossible where public opinion commands and insists upon full information 
concerning all the nation's affairs. 

A steadfast concert for peace can never be maintained except by a partnership of 
democratic nations. No autocratic government could be trusted to keep faith within it or 
observe its covenants. It must be a league of honor, a partnership of opinion.

Intrigue would eat its vitals away; the plottings of inner circles who could plan what 
they would and render account to no one would be a corruption seated at its very heart. 
Only free peoples can hold their purpose and their honor steady to a common end and 
prefer the interests of mankind to any narrow interest of their own. 

Does not every American feel that assurance has been added to our hope for the 
future peace of the world by the wonderful and heartening things that have been happen- 
ing within the last few weeks in Russia? 

Russia was known by those who knew it best to have been always in fact democratic 
at heart, in all the vital habits of her thought, in all the intimate relationships of her peo- 
ple that spoke their natural instinct, their habitual attitude toward life. 

The autocracy that crowned the summit of her political structure, long as it has stood 
and terrible as was the reality of its power, was not in fact Russian in origin, character or 
purpose; and now it has been shaken off and the great, generous Russian people have been 
added in all their native majesty and might to the forces that are fighting for freedom in the 
world, for justice, and for peace. Here is a fit partner for a League of Honor. 

One of the things that has served to convince us that the Prussian autocracy was not 
and could never be our friend is that from the very outset of the present war it has filled 
our unsuspecting communities and even our offices of Government with spies and set crim- 
inal intrigues everywhere afoot against our national unity of council, our peace within and 
without, our industries and our commerce. 

Indeed, it is now evident that its spies were here even before the war began; and it 
unhappily is not a matter of conjecture, but a fact proved in our courts of justice, that the 
intrigues which have more than once come perilously near to disturbing the peace and dis- 
locating the industries of the country have been carried on at the instigation, with the sup- 
port, and even under the personal direction of official agents of the Imperial Government ac- 
credited to the Government of the United States. 

Even in checking these things and trying to extirpate them we have sought to put the 
most generous interpretation possible upon them because we knew that their source lay, not 
in any hostile feeling or purpose of the German people toward us (who were, no doubt, as 
ignorant of them as we ourselves were ) , but only in the selfish designs of a Government that 
did what it pleased and told its people nothing. But they have played their part in serving 
to convince us at last that that Government entertains no real friendship for us and means 
to act against our peace and security at its convenience. That it means to stir up enemies 
against us at our very doors, the intercepted note to the German Minister at Mexico City is 
eloquent evidence. 

We are accepting this challenge of hostile purpose because we know that in such a 
Government, following such methods, we can never have a friend ; and that in the presence 
of its organized power, always lying in wait to accomplish we know not what purpose, there 
can be no assured security for the democratic governments of the world. 

We are now about to accept gauge of battle with this natural foe to liberty and shall, if 
necessary, spend the whole force of the Nation to check and nullify its pretensions and its

power. We are glad, now that we see the facts with no veil of false pretense about them, 
to fight for the ultimate peace of the world and for the liberation of its peoples, the Ger- 
man peoples included: for the rights of nations great and small and the privilege of men 
everywhere to choose their way of life and of obedience. The world must be made safe for 
democracy. Its peace must be planted upon the tested foundations of political liberty. 

We have no selfish ends to serve. We desire no conquest, no dominion. We seek no 
indemnities for ourselves, no material compensation for the sacrifices we shall freely make. 
We are but one of the champions of the rights of mankind. We shall be satisfied when those 
rights have been made as secure as the faith and the freedom of nations can make them. 

Just because we fight without rancor, without selfish object, seeking nothing for our- 
selves but what we shall wish to share with all free peoples, we shall, I feel confident, con- 
duct our operations as belligerents without passion and ourselves observe with proud punc- 
tilio die principles of right and of fair play we profess to be fighting for. 

I have said nothing of the governments allied with the Imperial Government of Ger- 
many because they have not made war upon us or challenged us to defend our right and our 
honor. The Austro-Hungarian Government has, indeed, avowed its unqualified indorse- 
ment and acceptance of the reckless and lawless submarine warfare adopted now without 
disguise by the Imperial German Government, and it has therefore not been possible for 
this Government to receive Count Tarnowski, the Ambassador recently accredited to this 
Government by the Imperial and Royal Government of Austria-Hungary; but that Govern- 
ment has not actually engaged in warfare against citizens of the United States on the seas, 
and I take the liberty, for the present at least, of postponing a discussion of our relations 
with the authorities at Vienna. We enter this war only where we are clearly forced into it 
because there are no other means of defending our rights. 

It will be all the easier for us to conduct ourselves as belligerents in a high spirit of 
right and fairness because we act without animus, not in enmity toward a people nor with 
the desire to bring any injury or disadvantage upon them, but only in armed opposition to 
an irresponsible Government which has thrown aside all considerations of humanity and 
of right and is running amuck. 

We are, let me say again, the sincere friends of the German people, and shall desire 
nothing so much as the early re-establishment of intimate relations of mutual advantage be- 
tween us — however hard it may be for them, for the time being, to believe that this is spoken 
from our hearts. We have borne with their present Government through all these bitter 
months because of Uiat friendship — exercising a patience and forbearance which would 
otherwise have been impossible. We shall, happily, still have an opportunity to prove that 
friendship in our daily attitude and actions toward the millions of men and women of Ger- 
man birth and native sympathy who live amongst us and share our life, and we shall be 
proud to prove it toward all who are in fact loyal to dieir neighbors and to the Government 
in the hour of test. They are, most of them, as true and loyal Americans as if they had 
never known any other fealty or allegiance. 

They will be prompt to stand with us in rebuking and restraining the few who may be 
ol a different mind and purpose.

If there should he disloyalty, it will be dealt with with a firm hand of stern repres- 
sion; but, if it lifts its head at all, it will lift it only here and there and without counte- 
nance except from a lawless and malignant few. 

It is a distressing and oppressive duty, Gentlemen of the Congress, which I have per- 
formed in thus addressing you. There are, it may be, many months of fiery trial and sac- 
rifice ahead of us. It is a fearful thing to lead this great peaceful people into war, into the 
most terrible and disastrous of all wars, civilization itself seeming to be in the balance. 
But the right is more precious than peace, and we shall fight for the things which we have 
always carried nearest our hearts — for democracy, for the right of those who submit to au- 
thority to have a voice in their own governments, for the rights and liberties of small na- 
tions, for a universal dominion of right by such a concert of free peoples as shall bring 
peace and safety to all nations and make the world itself at last free. 

To such a task we can dedicate our lives and our fortunes, everything that we are and 
everything that we have, with the pride of those who know that the day has come when 
America is privileged to spend her blood and her might for the principles that gave her 
birth and happiness and the peace which she has treasured. God helping her, she can do 
no other.

Extracts of Appreciation 

"To know that the people at home are squarely back of us just doubles our determina- 
tion to lick the Boche .... Our first Battalion was the first American troops to cap- 
ture prisoners without the aid of the French or British." David Holloway 
July 8, 1918 

"I beg to inform you that there are boys here from the largest cities in the country who 
have been here a long time and never have received as much as a card from the numer- 
ous organizations in their home cities while I have had letters from Lanett Service Sta- 
tion and only been here a month. The boys all admit that they have to take off their 
hats to Lanett for the spirit the folks at home show in backing up the boys." 

Hobson G. Heggood 

"And if it so be I will stand on the vine clad hills of sunny France and give my life 
for a cause that is just and right." Evans McGhee 

June 14. 1918. Eagle Pass, Texas 

"Our motto is 'Over the Top and give them H — ' and you can take it from me that is 
just what they are doing. Our boys are fighting like our grandfathers fought back in 
the sixties and they are making for themselves a name which will never be forgotten." 
September 21, 1918. Musician, 167th Inf. Band, Somewhere in France Dave HOLLOWAY. 



"And I am glad that I have such a patriotic town to back me while I do a little to help 
beat the Beast of Berlin." Sgt £ugene c Stiff 

July 23, 1918. Company 9, 122d Infantry 

"I wish to thank you for the interest die Service Station is taking in me and I am sure 
all the boys from dear old Lanett feel the same as myself .... We had three battles 
with the 'Subs' on my last trip and I am proud to say we got three 'Subs' out of three 

battles -" Chas. H. Yarbrough. 

On Board U. S. S. Zeelandia 

"We drove the enemy out of places that looked impossible for it to be done, tunnels 
and under hills and mountains several hundred feet deep, but believe me we went in 
after them without any mercy and finally got them going so fast we had to put dough- 
boys in motor trucks and hook the kitchens on behind to keep up with them." 

November 30, 1918. Company E, 307th Engineers THOMAS M. SlMS.

Extracts of Appreciation 

"Again I offer you a rising and unanimous vote of thanks for your kind letters. Number 
10 reached me this week and did me more good than a check for $50.00 would .... 
You will have to admit that when the world wanted Germany licked they sent over the 
A. E. F. (After England Failed) and three days after I reached the front the second 
time, the Kaiser packed his trick clothes, threw his crown into the garbage pail, put on 
his rubber boots and let himself out the back door." 



Corp. W. D. Purcell 



November 21, 1918 



"You have no idea how we love to hear from home and to feel that you remember us. 
We can fight a heap better when we're reminded once in a while that our loved ones are 
helping us by keeping us in touch with home and sacrificing in numerous ways that we 
may be more comfortable." 

July 16, 1918. The Rhode Island 



George Bankston 



"It is just beginning to seem like 1919 to me and it will be a happy year I am sure be- 
cause it means that I am coming back to the only country on earth with all my feet and 
hands still attached to me. 

"Don't close the station until all of us are out of France. I would miss your letters and 
I want to see all the folks at the station and thank them for their backing and the inter- 
est taken in the boys." n w ™ n 

3 Corp. Wm. D. Purcell 

January, 1919. Somewhere in France 

"My chum called to me and we counted two hundred air planes going over to Germany 
and they were all in sight at one time and they made me think of a flock of wild geese 
back in the States." 



Alver Gunn 



October, 1918. Somewhere in France 



"I thank God I am an American and will go down with my comrades if the good Lord 
so wills that I go that way." 

Extract from letter dated August 27, 1918, from Thomas Thomaston, Company F, 
167th Infantry, who was killed before his letter reached the Service Station. 

"Yesterday was Christmas and believe me we had some dinner — turkey, pies, California 
cake, dressing, mashed potatoes, celery, tangerines, cigarettes and one cigar and a few 
other things I did not know any name for — and that makes me think, I thank you many, 
many times for the Christmas box. You could not have sent anything that would have 
pleased me more and I assure you it was appreciated by myself and friends." 

December 26, 1918. Co. A, 306th Am. Train CORP. Wm. D. PuRCELL

t/xtracts of Appreciation 

"The people here are different from any other section of France. Their customs and 
dress are very peculiar, in fact, reminds me very much of the people of Holland. They 
wear wooden shoes and have a dialect all their own. French people from the more up- 
to-date parts of France have difficulty in speaking to and understanding them. The 
country is flat and marshy, and windmills like those of Holland can be seen. It is very 
pleasant in summer but in the winter I think it must be very cold, for already it is get- 
ting very cold at night and in the morning. I do not think we will be here long, though 
I do not know where we will go from here. Perhaps where the big guns roar and the 
bombs drop from the skies. Well, we have been anxious to go up front, and no doubt 
our chance will come some day. We have been doing some mighty important work back 
here in the S. 0. S. but it is the nature of an American to want to be where the excite- 
ment is thickest." T r TI 

J. F. H. 

October 8, 1918 

"This helmet was picked up on the morning of October 16th as we were returning to 
die rear from a convoy in the heart of the Argonne, near the village of Cheppy. The 
wearer who had fallen earlier in the day was an old soldier perhaps sixty-five years 
old and belonged to die 419th Division of the Saxon Bombardiers. More than a hun- 
dred German and American Troops lay dead widiin sight. 

"The probable cause of his death was high explosive, as he was torn up very badly. 
"In an area of two square miles many hundred of these could have been gathered. I 
took an interest in this one on account of its high polish for camouflage purposes, 
something new to us at that time." A r S 

"We spent quite a different life from this in the English waters where we put in many 
monotonous months waiting for the Hun to come out. We were sorry he came out 
the way he did for we were just aching to exchange broadsides with him. 
"My ship convoyed one-half million troops through what is called the 'Submarines' 
Graveyard,' off the coast of Ireland, during the months of September and October." 

January 1, 1919 W. W. 



"The boys in the outfit I belong to were the first to cross the Meuse River and were in 
the first lines when the guns stopped firing at 11 o'clock on the 11th day on the 11th 
month in the year 1918."

Extracts of Af>J>reciation 

"I now belong to the Army of Occupation. We are going through what is to my think- 
ing the prettiest country yet. My battery has hiked some four hundred and twenty-five 
kilometers since we fired our last barrage — -and believe me, that was some barrage — 
'The Million Dollar One'. It will take a long time before I forget it. I stood on a hill 
and watched and listened. IT WAS GREAT. I guess about ten or twelve regiments 
of the American Artillery and I don't know how many of the French took part. The 
best of old Heinie's guns were being used. If he knew the sound of them as well as 
we did, he knew that we were firing his OWN guns at him. They have a very pecu- 
liar and creepy sound, see?" C F K

"I had the pictures struck yesterday. And to show you how much speed there is here 

in France — for this is an instance of real speed — 

"The guy who runs the shop pounded me on the back and said, 'Bon, bon-apres un 

mayr photo finie'. Anybody that has to put up with that kind of lingo and fight this 

war has sure got some job. Well, after tearing out about all of my hair and using 

three different Franco-American dictionaries I finally managed to get this out of the 

scraps, 'Good, good, after one month, picture finished'. 

"Remember that was only yesterday." ^ tt 

October 25, 1918 

"If this letter reaches you safely you can say it came through from the infernal re- 
gions, for if there was ever a 'Hell's Half Acre' this must be it. Put your finger on 
tlie biggest forest in France and say I'm there. Six weeks like a rat, three of which is 
like a whirlwind sweeping through Hades day or night, no rest, but forever watching, 
waiting, working by candle light deep down in a dug-out, or no light at all. This cer- 
tainly cannot last much longer. It does us good to know there is one place where every- 
thing is like it used to be. I certainly am glad SHAWMUT is still natural and hope 
someday soon to get back there and take up my work where I left off." 

A. C. S. 



"I wish to express my sincere appreciation of the personal letter service which has 
been rendered me. It is the wonderful and unselfish spirit of the folks back home, 
which has made the men of die A. E. F. willing and eager to 'carry on'." 



December 22, 1918 



J.S.D. 



"I was sitting on my bunk trying to write these few lines, when my bunkie jumped up 
all at once and said a few words (I can't tell you what he said). At first I thought 
that he was shot but I found out what the trouble was, only a 'cootie bite'."

Extracts of Affxreciation 

"If there is one thing that stands out preeminently in a soldier's daily schedule across 
the sea, as to helpfulness it is 'that letter' or little bit of news from home (America) 
If you good people who are carrying on the work of the 'Home Guards' could see 
the eager faces of the Yanks at mail time, as they congregate for mail distributions, I 
am sure you would agree that time spent in writing to 'Over There' boys, is at least 
appreciated to die fullest." T H S 

September 22, 1918 

"I appreciate having my name on the list at the War Service Station very much. I en- 
joy the Bulletin from the first to the last and hope I'll never miss one as long as the 
war lasts." 



H.A. 



October 6, 1918 



"I was indeed surprised, a few days since, to receive a letter from you good people of 
my old home town reminding me that you still remember me and appreciate the effort 
that we boys are making to do our 'bit' for the just and righteous cause in which we are 
all enlisted. 

"Your promise to write us from time to time of the items of interest at home especially 
gratifying, for local news nowadays, possesses far more interest and diversion for us 
than does the doings and happenings of the remainder of the 'great, wide, beautiful, 
wonderful world'." 



C. T. T. 



July 10, 1918 



"It makes one feel good to know that he is remembered back home, not only by his 
parents, but by his friends as well. You don't know, you can't know, just how much 
good you are doing and just how it makes us feel when stationed at a remote camp, 
where we know no one, to get a letter from friends at home, who are interested in 
us. It makes us feel as though nothing on earth could prevent us from winning this 
war — and we shall win. 



R. D. C. 



June 21, 1918 



"We leave this port the tenth of December and proceed nine hundred miles off this 
coast and meet President Wilson and his party, who are coming over to the Peace 
Conference on the George Washington, convoyed by die super-dreadnaught, Pennsyl- 
vania, and six destroyers. 

"There are nine big dreadnaughts in our fleet lying here who will go out and convoy 
them to Brest, France." W T W

li/xtracts of Appreciation 



"I appreciate all the letters which you have written to me and it certainly livens a fel- 
low up and makes him feel good to receive all the news from home and know just 
what is heing done." 

"I am proud to be represented in the service flag." 

"Am glad to hear from you and to know that you are doing such wonderful work for 
the boys." 

"Thanking you all for the joy that comes with your ever welcome letters." 

"I want you to tell your fellow members in the War Service Station that as a man in 
the service I can heartily appreciate the work you are doing for the benefit of the men 
in the service and I think it is a splendid thing." 

"Please accept my sincere thanks for all the letters, magazines and other things you 
have sent." 

"Thanking you for remembering me and wishing you much success with your work." 

"Am sure this system will prove a success as the boys will all appreciate the work of 
the Service Station." 

"I am grateful to you and proud of our War Service Station." 

"I am sure the good work that the Langdale War Service Station is doing for the boys 
in the service is very much appreciated. No one has an idea what it means until they 
are in the Service and are remembered as we are by the Service Station." 

"Can assure you that your letters and all good work is more than appreciated." 

"My best wishes for a prosperous Station, but then how could it be otherwise when it 
is for the good of Democracy and especially for the Liberty- of these dear old 'United 
States'." 

"I am not going to try to thank you for all the good news and letters I received when 
I reached port, diis time. It was just grand." 

"If you could visit this place once, my dear friends, you would know what a good 
place the U. S. A. is. Everything is out of date, even the women are all curious 
looking." 

"It may be six or eight months before I get back to dear old Langdale. Of course it 
seems very hard to stay, but if my country needs me I am willing."

iLxtraets 01 Appreciation 

"It's a tough proposition; it's a terrible tiling, but we know that some blood has to be 
spilled and we are willing to let it flow for the cause and the best country on earth." 

"I am always overjoyed to hear or receive news from my dear friends at home." 

"The French people go wild over the U. S. boys. One can't get lonesome or homesick, 
they treat you too good." 

"I am still on the destroyer, Shaw, and we hunt 'subs' most every day." 

'"Tis needless to say that the letters and Bulletins which I received today brought one 
grand little message and a feeling of comradeship into my heart. I appreciate them 
very, very much and I enjoy them more and more." 

"I don't want to quit until the job is finished." 

"Your encouragement, our bullets, and it's all over." 

"I am happy that it fell my lot to serve for our grand and noble country in her fight 
for Democracy." 

"I hear that we are going to France. I am just 'crazy' to go." 

"Your letters have given me a great deal of pleasure and I can imagine the joy they 
cause the fellows who have gone across." 

"I have been living under the ground since I have been on the front. Don't know how 
I would feel if I could get into a house again." 

"If it wasn't for the Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A. and the Service Station, I don't see how 
we could get along." 

"I have been in action and I feel more than ever that there must be no peace without 
victory and every soldier I have met shares that feeling." 

"You would feel a deep new tender feeling for France and her people if you could 
see them carry the Stars and Stripes so proudly, and note the feeling toward the Amer- 
ican soldier." 

"Well, they say that we have had a war in France and that it has come to an abrupt 
close. Isn't it strange how easily and how swiftly we put a serious crimp into the great 
German mass? I can't realize it — it seems a long dream." 

"I have been in England, France, Belgium, Luxemburg, and on the line of Germany 
since I have been in Europe." 

"Since the Armistice we have been on quite a long hike; followed the great and final 
retreat of the Kaiser's grand army. We are stationed now a few kilometers beyond the 
River Rhine, on a hill overlooking the city of Coblenz." 

"Sorry that the other boys didn't get to see France; they missed the real fun, a trip 
that they wouldn't ever forget."

Extracts of Appreciation 

"They can have England. France. Belgium. Luxemburg and Germany. I have seen 
them all and spent some time in each, but give me the old Lnited States. 

Raymond 0. Ogletree 

"I will tell vou of my first experience in a dugout, ^"hen we arrived here it was rain- 
ing, so I crawled into a dugout for the night. In the meantime shells were landing regu- 
larlv. I unrolled my pack and went to bed and I had no more than got settled when 
Fritz sent some large ones over. As I was a new man at the trade it was hard for me to 
get to sleep, but fmallv I did and sometime in the night he sent a large one over which 
made a direct hit on my dugout. I jumped almost out of bed. It rained so much dur- 
ing the night that I was almost floating when I awoke the next morning and it took me 
nearly all day to dry out all of my stuff." Raymond 0. Ogletree 

"'Speaking of Christmas, we had a pleasant one considering the place and times. There 
are twenty-seven children in the town where we are now, the same place we were dur- 
ing the holidavs. We had a Christmas Tree for them, so I suppose we made several 
little hearts happy." Glenn BfajiER 

"I don't know whether I will get die first German helmet or not, but I am going to do 
mv bit over diere. I shall take it all like a man and fight my best for Old Glory." 

Joe McCann 

"I wish I were in good health and could do my bit over there along with the other 
ho ^ s " Tyler Grant 

"It's very nice of the Riverview War Service Station to offer a prize to the first boy 
who captures a German helmet. Fd like to have a chance at the Kaiser and get the 
one he wears." Marvix BaK£R 

"T don't know how to start to thank the good people of Riverview for the hearty 
Christmas greeting; through die Bulletin. I will say this much, they are the best ever. 



I send mv best regards to evervone." 



Archie Blackmon 



"You don't know how much I appreciate the kindness of the Riverview people while 
we are over here chasing die Germans as fast as we possibly can. l ou. no doubt have 
heard of die big American drive that is now going. I must say that the old U. S. 
boys are making it hot for diose Dutchmen just now. I have been transferred to the 
band, so I am hoping to play a piece for the boys to march through Berlin soon." 

Waymon C. Anthony

Extracts 01 Appreciation 

"I want to say that if all the boys in the Service appreciate, as I do, what the folks of 

Riverview are doing for our benefit, the work is a great success. The letters you send 

certainly are interesting to me. They keep me in very close touch widi what is going 

on at home." w n « 

Waymon C. Anthony 

"I think this is one of the grandest lives a boy can live if he will do his best. I am 
proud to be a soldier and I hope diat it won't be long before I can go over sea to do 
my part. I feel like we are fighting for a cause that God would have us fight for. I 
had much rather go over the top than have it always said of me, .'He was a slacker". 
That's enough said about that for we are going to get the Kaiser some old way." 

Roy B. Anthony 

"I am sorry I didn't get over to help the boys. I don"t feel like I have been in the 
Service at all, but I have done the best I could. I think those who went oversea are 
the ones that should have all the praise for winning this war." 

Roy B. Anthony 

"We are here training to fight for the old flag and we will not give up until die last 

one is dead." wr w 

WATSON WARE 

"A German garden was captured by our boys a few days ago, so we are living high 

on cabbage, turnips, etc. You should see what fine homes the Germans had in their 

dugouts: electric lights, bath rooms, pianos and all such to make life pleasant. I want 

to tell you, however, that they are not spending much of their time playing pianos and 

taking baths now. for our boys are giving them all the music diey are looking for, and 

then some." wr n A 

Waymon C. Anthony 

"For the sake of my country, I am anxious for the day to come when I shall have 
die opportunity of going over the top to capture the helmet that you mentioned in your 
last letter, not for the $50.00 reward, but for the sake of my country and the people 
who are dear to me. I trust diat when the war is all over I can go back home and truly 
say, T have done my all'."

My counrty, 'tis of thee, 
Siveet land of liberty, 

Of thee I sing. 
Land where my fathers died! 
Land of the Pilgrim's pride! 
From ev'ry mountain side 

Let freedom ring! 

My native country, thee, 
Land of the noble free, 

Thy name I love. 
I love thy rocks and rills, 
Thy woods and templed hills; 
My heart with rapture thrills 

Like that above. 

Let music swell the breeze, 
And ring from all the trees 

Siveet freedom's song. 
Let mortal tongues aivake; 
Let all that breathe partake; 
Let rocks their silence break,- 

The sound prolong. 

Our father's God, to Thee, 
Author of liberty, 

To Thee we sing. 
Long may our land be bright 
With freedom's holy light; 
Protect us by Thy might, 

Great God, our King! 



God save our noble men, 
Send them safe home again, 

God save our men. 
Chivalrous, glorious, 
From work laborious, 
Send them victorious, 

God save our men.
